Energy outputs
This industry is known to have a lot of high-energy outputs during its production. This is why it is important to ensure that the energy used is processed properly so that it does not result in hazardous waste for the community.
So, it means that if a Cannabis-based company can work towards emitting lesser carbon waste and by doing so it wins a certification for it, these practices can be adapted by most other industries to ensure that they produce lesser carbon waste.

Setting an example
Shedding light on future plans, Greenfern said they were then setting up an aeroponic grow room. This would mean being able to grow their plants for the production of their products by using an optimum level of resources without any wastage of water or electricity. Dan Casey, the managing director of Greenfern, was of the view that he was extremely proud to get the certification now and the core values of his company have always believed in eco-friendly ways of industrial production.
